Liquid Health K9 & Kitty Calmer

For those of you who don't know, my oldest dog, Gemma, has anxiety issues. Her main anxiety issue is with dogs she doesn't know, little furry hyper dogs, hyper dogs in general, and very dominant dogs. Now with time, some of these types of dogs are ok. Both Tigger and Audrey were very submissive when I got them and in time they have become more dominant. And Gemma is perfectly ok with that because she knows them (duh, they live with her) and she has even accepted that Audrey is pretty much the alpha of the group now.

Gemma lived a rough life before I adopted her and she was in 2 different shelters. Too many dogs barking at once really makes her anxious, as does when a little furry dog is running around really fast (she used to live with a small furry dog in her previous home who was not very nice).

I have tried numerous anxiety aids with her, from tablets to anxiety wraps- you name it. And then Liquid Health developed a product for anxiety in dogs and cats. Just when I thought I had pretty much tried every anxiety product besides prescription medication, Liquid Health stepped in.

Before I even opened the packaging, I could smell the K9 Calmer. It was even worse and stronger when I took it out. I keep it in my kitchen and as soon as you enter the kitchen, you smell it. I can't really describe the smell, but it is not very pleasant. And I was only able to give this liquid calmer to her a few times because she did not like the taste at all. Keep in mind, Gemma is not very picky. I still gave it to her anyways. I stopped after about three days because I could barely get one drop in her mouth without her spitting it (as well as some bile maybe?) up. She just couldn't and wouldn't keep it down. My other two dogs who don't necessarily have anxiety issues were very jealous and wanted some since they thought Gemma was getting a treat. So I figured I'd give it a shot and see what happens. One spit it up as soon as it hit her tongue and the other turned the other way as soon as he smelled it. Unfortunately, it wasn't effective with Gemma's anxiety.

I need to look more into this, during the summer months with so many people walking outside it gives Misa so much anxiety and she gets all worked up. Thanks for tuning me into this.-Alexwww.monstermisa.blogspot.com

Gemma gets like that too sometimes, especially if there is an insane amount of dogs. I definitely don't take her to Petsmart anymore around Christmas time b/c the last few times I have, people who are there with their dogs to get pictures with Santa were all lined up crowded right in front of the doors making it hard for people to get in the store and that definitely gave her anxiety. I have tried the anxiety wrap, an anxiety harness that has a heart beat simulator in it, rescue remedy, different anxiety tablets and treats, doga, a head halter, etc.

I do not have a dog, but I used to dog sit my good friends pup every now and then and he had similar doggie anxiety. I never even thought there would be a medicine to help them handle their anxiety. Thank you for bringing me aware of this!

They are developing more and more products for things like anxiety everyday. It is pretty amazing the things they have come up with and although these things haven't really helped my dog, I know it has helped others and that's what matters the most.

Happy Monday y'all! I finally got around to taking pictures of Rhylan's nursery and now posting the reveal. How am I on top of things the 2nd time around?! I never even got around to revealing Rory's nursery (I plan to reveal Rory's nursery/ room this week, so be on the lookout for that post b/c her floral + woodland critter nursery is the cutest ever) and here I am 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant revealing my 2nd baby's nursery.

The frames are all from A.C. Moore but I painted the one with the starfish and the purple one. The star fish came in a pack of like 15 with different colors from Amazon (I hot glued it onto the frame) and the "R" is also from A.C. Moore. I bought paint from A.C. Moore including the gold puffy paint I used to make the "R" mermaid-like. The piece in the upper left hand corner is one of my mom's old dance costumes that I framed. I thought it went perfect with the color scheme and mermaid theme/ beachy theme. The print…

Ah, it's Monday. I have been so bad at blogging lately and I'm sorry for that. Life has been so extremely busy lately and I have so much to update y'all on and share with you and so little time to do so. Bare with me here.

I thought I'd do a little post on house hunting since I have now been down this road of house hunting twice. I'll admit, there are tons of ups and downs and places in between. It can be very emotional and stressful at times but you have to keep your head up, stay positive, and know that it will all work out in the end. So to help you out, I'm going to list a few tips for y'all.

1. Find the Right Realtor for You
Finding the right realtor is key in starting your house hunting journey. You want someone you feel like is actually listening to you and not pressuring you into buying a specific house or pushing you to look at completely different houses that don't meet your requirements. And don't be afraid to speak your mind. My re…

Ahh this post has been a long time coming. I never got around to posting Rory's nursery reveal b/c I went into active labor the week I was going to do the post. Buttt it worked out since I changed a lot of things in her room after she was born and changed a few more after we moved. By the way, when do you start calling your kid's room a room instead of a nursery??? At 1?

Any who, so before we found out Rory was a girl, we had decided on a woodland theme. I just had to have a theme picked out b/c I was dying to design the nursery and start buying things. Like most men, it hadn't really hit Jesse that we were having a child and he let me take the reins on almost everything. After we found out we were having a girl, I decided to add "florals" to the theme. The color scheme was originally mint, gray and peach but at the time when I was pregnant with Rory, finding anything mint was nearly impossible and finding anything peach was literally impossible. And of co…
